Radio operation with RDS (Radio Data System)

The Radio Data System offers you more
convenience for listening to FM.
An ever increasing number of FM radio sta-
tions broadcast additional information in par-
allel with their normal program.
As soon as a radio program can be identified,
the station name and possibly also a regional
identifier will appear in the display, e.g.
"NDR1 NDS" (local radio program in Lower
Saxony, Germany).
With RDS, the preset buttons turn into pro-
gram buttons. Now you know exactly to
which program your set is tuned in, making it
absolutely easy to find the desired station
quickly.
But RDS even offers you more advantages:

AF - alternative frequency

The AF function makes sure that the stron-
gest frequency of the selected program is
always tuned in automatically.
This function is activated if "AF" lights up in
the display.
To switch AF on/off:
• Press AF briefly.
During seek tuning for the frequency offering
the best reception of the selected program,
the radio is muted for a moment.
If "SEARCH" appears in the display when
turning on the set or when calling up one of
the stored frequencies, the set is automati-
cally searching for an alternative frequency.
"SEARCH" goes out as soon as the system
has found an alternative frequency or after
the frequency band has been scanned com-
pletely.
Should the reception quality of the selected
program become too bad,
• tune into another program.

REG - Regional

At some times of the day, larger radio stati-
ons split up their main program into regional
program versions offering local information.
If you want the radio to lock onto a regional
program,
• hold down the AF button for about 2
seconds.
The display will show "REG ON".
If you leave the service area of the regional
station tuned in, or if you wish to use the
normal RDS service again, switch to "REG
OFF".
• Hold down the AF button for about 2
seconds until "REG OFF" is displayed.
The display will show "REG ON" or "REG
OFF" each time the radio is switched on.
